Washington State Career- and College-Ready Standards ImplementationTransforming Professional Learning Systems for Reform: Common Core and MoreDistrict Network Project(WA-TPL)A Gates Foundation funded opportunity for Washington School Districts District Orientation June 2, 2014 WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  2. “The dramatic shift in teaching prompted by the common core will require practical, intensive, and ongoing professional learning – not one-of “spray and pray” training that exposes everyone to the same material and hope it sticks” ~Stephanie Hirsh, Learning Forward (2011) “Current teachers must receive extensive professional development on the Common Core standards, curricular materials, and strategies on teaching that now require students to delve deeper and develop critical thinking and analytical skills that previous standards did not adequately address…” ~ National Association of State Boards of Education (2011) WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  3. “…today, however, there is little systemic attention to professional learning as a core strategy for educator reform…” ~Stephanie Hirsh & JoellenKillion, Learning Forward WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  4. Learning Targets for Today • Participants will gain an overall perspective of statewide standards implementation approach and WA TPL project. • Participants will learn about specific project objectives related to their role as lab or critical friend district. • Participants will gain an understanding of the project evaluation and data collection process (Standards Assessment Inventory 2 (SAI2)) • Participants will discuss next steps: June - October WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  11. Washington’s Vision for Education Every Washington public school student will graduate from high school globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21st century. WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014 Class of 2011: Bridgeport High School

  12. Aligned System – Common Language and Common Vision BEA Funding and Policy Recommendations District-directed professional learning structures Career and College Ready State Learning Standards for ALL Students (CCSS/NGSS) Student and School Success Basic Education Act: State Learning Goals McCleary Court Decision & Fully Funding Basic Education Aligned Federal and State Programs Assessment & Accountability Systems (SBAC) National Board Certification Educator Effectiveness Systems (TPEP) Comprehensive Mentor & Induction Programs (BEST) Professional Learning Aligned to Standards Pre-Service Programs Regional Support Systems (ESDs) WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  13. Implementing Career- and College- Ready Standards in Washington State Our Vision:Every student will have access to CCR standards through high quality instruction aligned with the standards every day; and every educator is prepared and supported to implement the standards in their classrooms every day. Our Purpose: To develop a statewide system with resources that supports all school districts in their preparation of educators and students. WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  14. Bringing the CCR System Together All students leave high school career and college ready • https://wacore2college.wikispaces.com/Project+Overview • http://www.washingtonesds.org/site/default.aspx?PageID=1 • http://www.k12.wa.us/CoreStandards/ProfDev.aspx WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  15. Moving toward Career and College Ready Standards WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014 “These standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business.” CCSS-M, page 5

  16. Career and College Readiness for EVERY Student What role do district leaders and structures have in supporting and sustaining professional learning to support every teacher and ultimately, every student? WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  17. Our guiding beliefs and approach for CCR Standards Implementation in WA WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014 2-Prongs: • The What: Content Shifts (for students and educators) • Belief that past standards implementation efforts have provided a strong foundation on which to build; HOWEVER there are shifts that need to be attended to in the content. • The How: System “Remodeling” • Belief that successful implementation will not take place top down or bottom up – it must be “both, and…” • Belief that districts across the state have the conditions and commitment present to engage wholly in this work. • Professional learning systems are critical

  18. The “What”:Key Content Shifts – ELA, Math, Science Shifts in ELA • Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational texts in addition to literature • Reading and writing grounded in evidence from the text • Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary These apply to content area (social studies, science, and technical subject) teachers as well as to English teachers. RESOURCE HANDOUT Shifts in Science The NGSS Reflect the Interconnected Nature of Science through Focus, Understanding, and Application of Content The Science Concepts in the NGSS Build Coherently from K–12. Science and Engineering are Integrated across K–12 in the NGSS. WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014 Shifts in Mathematics • Focus: fewer topics focused on deeply in each grade • Coherence: Concepts logically connected from one grade to the next and linked to other major topics within the grade • Rigor: Fluency with arithmetic, application of knowledge to real world situations, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts

  19. The “What” - Power of the Shifts • Know them – both the what and the why • Internalize them • Apply them to decisions about • Time • Energy • Resources • Conversations with parents, students, colleagues, partners This effort is about much more than implementing the next version of the standards. It is about preparing all students for college and careers. WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  20. The “How”: System Remodeling 1. What do all students need to know and be able to do as a result of the CCSS? 3. How do we design a professional learning system to support them? 2. What do the adults in the system need to know and be able to do to support all students? WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

  21. Washington The “How”: Connecting Multiple Avenues, Providers, and Directions for Professional Learning • Including: • School Districts • Higher Education • Education and Educator Associations • Private Partners WA TPL Kick Off 6/2/2014

WA-TPL Vision • The project will focus on enhancing critical state and regional-level infrastructures and capacity for sustained, results-driven, standards-based statewide and regional professional learning so… • School district and building leaders have the knowledge and skills to create the conditions necessary for every educator within their districts to increase their instructional capacity to make the instructional shifts that new Career- and College-Ready learning standards entail.
